2 Grafdigger's Cage
3 Smash to Smithereens
3 Pyrostatic Pillar
4 Exquisite Firecraft
Round 1 Miracles (2-1)
Game 1 goes pretty poorly, having him stabalize at 3 with counter top and ultimating a Jace the Mind Sculptor to get me.
Out: 4 Price of Progress 3 Searing Blaze 1 Lava Spike
In: 4 Exquisite Firecraft 3 Pyrostatic Pillar 1 Pithing needle
Round 2 - 12 Post (Mono G Candelabra) (2-1)
Game 1 he crop rotates into a glacial chasm and does the cool trick with thespians stage. Once he gets of glacial chasm I have about 4 burn spells to finish him
Out: 1 Eidolon 3 Searing Blaze
In: 1 Pithing Needle 3 Smash to Smithereens
Game 2 he sits on a glacial chasm and karakas Ulamog loops all my lands. I lose quickly
Game 3 he mulligans to 5 and I smash to smithereens his sphere of resistance and his Candelabra and he can't beat that
Round 3 Grixis Delver (2-0)
Game 1 I blow him out with multiple searing blazes on his deathrite shamans and delvers and he can't beat my eidolon
Out: 2 Lava Spike
In: 2 Ensnaring Bridge
(Given what I saw game one I thought he was BUG Delver)
Game 2 I quickly realize he is on grixis delver and I sideboarded incorrectly. He stumbles on a land drop and I am able to take the game over in a heartbeat.
Round 4- Miracles (2-0)(Feature Match)
Game 1 he doesn't have any real action just a lot of cantrips and top activations and I make light work of him.
Out: 4 price of progress 3 searing blaze 1 Lava Spike
In: 1 Pithing Needle 3 Pyrostatix Pillar 4 Exquisite Firecraft
Game 2 he gets me under Counter Top but my hand is Firecrafts Rift Bolts and Fireblasts (the most difficult or impossible cards for him to counter)
Round 5 Shardless Agent (0-2)
Game 1 we get to a close game and he starts smacking me with a tarmogoyf. He has the force for my last burn spell. Shit happens.
Out- 2 Sulfuric Vortex
In- 2 Ensnaring Bridge
Game 2 goes exactly the same as Game 1.
This matchup was very tilting because of the fact that Shardless is a great matchup for me, but sometimes they just have the unbeatble hand against you.
Round 6 ANT (2-1) *Win-and-In*
Game 1 I don't keep a hand with Eidolon and he makes lightwork of me, meh.
Out: 3 Searing Blaze 2 Sulfuric Vortex
In: 3 Pyrostatic Pillar 2 Grafdiggers
Game 2 I mulligan to a hand of Fireblast 2 Lands Eidolon Bolt Pyrostatic Pillar. He has a duress and then a Lotus Petal therapy to take both my eidolon effects. I topdeck an Eidolon and he can't beat it.
Game 3 I keep a good 7 card hand with an eidolon and a pillarr. He is able to storm off and go to 4 to cast tendrills and I fireblast him in response.
Round 7 ---- ID
Top 8 Miracles (0-2)
Game 1 I keep a fine hand and get counter topped early in the game, only drawing lands and searing blazes. He ultimates a Jace at 3 just like the guy in Round 1.
*Sideboard is the same as the other 2 Miracles Matches*
Game 2 He has a counterbalance only and blind flips 3 times. That's variance for you. He gets a stoneforge for batterskull and I am dead.
Overall I don't feel like I made any mistakes and think my level of play was great. Definitely feel like burn is a better deck in legacy than most people give it credit for.
